Advice
Bath resealing in Westacott without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What bath resealing costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Westacott. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Westacott. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

Signs you need bath resealing in Westacott
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you can’t clean out
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Westacott
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover Westacott?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Westacott. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time.
